My Turbo Process Thread; ep3 A3
i've been reading on ephatch that the a3 is not strong at all. A few guys were running the same kit and there cranks walked. I have an A3 motor sitting in my garage just waiting to install it. Instead of the turbo kit i'm looking into the JRSC for more reliability. I already boosted my D17 and it was headaches

With proper tuning at its own setup, i don't see any differences between JRSC setup.
JRSC is soo limited right now, even with 3.8" pulley @10psi, doesn't pull.
Aftercooler "supposed" to come out, When? no idea.

The a3 is notorious for crank walking at 300+ hp also. What car are you lookin into getting (if anything) next?
And the Si JRSC on an a2 in a swapped Civic is a nice thing

Either pay off.. or get new car.
Looking at WRX Wagon, S2k or TSX.
Probably not s2k, just not practical enough...
I play golf.
